Chapter 7 Li Shimin's Night Banquet Li Yuanai
Zheng Hao looked at Li Yuanai who had already made up his mind and couldn't think of any reason to refuse. With his business gaze, it was not difficult to see the business opportunities in it.
The Bashui Villa is famous for its reputation, and even if it is criticized for this, it will not lack tourists.
Especially in Chang'an, they are the richest and most populous metropolis in the world, and there are not many people willing to pay.
The name of Bashui Villa has been launched. Perhaps the number of tourists will drop sharply due to the charges, but the quality of the tour will be much improved. There will be no situation where there are crowds of tourists and crowds everywhere. There will be a comfortable playing environment, and as long as it is managed properly, there is almost no possibility of losses.
What is crucial is that there is no competitive pressure. Apart from the Shang king in front of him, where is anyone in the world willing to spend huge sums of money to build such a magnificent manor?
"Thank you, Shang Wang, for your love. My Zheng family has suffered this."
Zheng Hao acted decisively and did not hesitate. He directly discussed the details with Li Yuanai, signed a contract, and made a clear promise to rent Tongbao. Within ten days, he would send someone to Da'an Palace.
Li Yuanai was then satisfied. The Bashui Villa has today's scenery, which is closely related to his generous spending.
Whether it is rockery stones or forest potted plants, most of them are transplanted.
Almost all Tongbao that I won with Bofang before was devoted to it.
The amount of money that Bofang respects every month is indeed quite large, but it is used to build the other half of the Bashui Villa, which is a drop in the bucket. How can you afford this big-handed and squandering?
Li Yuanai calculated from the beginning that he had put the Bashui Villa into commercial operations.
Soon, news that Bashui Villa will be charged soon spread.
The first person to get this news was Li Shimin. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been arranging people to pay attention to this matter since Li Tai got the news.
Li Shimin claimed that he had no right to know people in the world, and was extremely curious about Li Yuanai's abnormal behavior. When he was with him, he knew that his younger brother was extremely realistic and never cared about illusory things. He spent his energy to please Shilin Yashi. It was really abnormal and sent people to pay attention to inquiries.
Li Shimin may not know about things that are not interested in, but as long as he is willing to investigate, he will get first-hand news without any accidents.
“The villa card is charged?”
Li Shimin was also stunned by this sudden stroke of magic. In this era, they could only say whether they had never paid. This payment model was only used when entering and leaving the city.
It seems that the charge for setting up a card in a private estate is not unreasonable.
"Go, call the King of Shang to me... Forget it, I don't have time to pay attention to him for a long time. You ask him to come to Lizheng Hall for dinner in the evening."
Li Shimin didn't care that Li Yuanai had a close relationship with Shilin people, but he never wanted the court to get too close to Shilin people.
The so-called "Shilin" goes further by aristocratic families. Aristocratic families control the right to interpret culture, and their children are spread all over the world to serve as local officials.
Even the emperor, he, did not dare to attack the aristocratic family easily.
If Li Yuanai is a talent who can be used and useful now, if he really gets close to the aristocratic family, it will have certain obstacles to destroying the influence of the aristocratic family.
Now Li Yuanai set up a card and charged a fee directly to use Shilin to make money for himself, which made the Emperor of Tang feel very comfortable and knew that he had read the wrong person.
Li Yuanai was inexplicably invited by Li Shimin, and thought she had been impeached, and she felt a little nervous.
When I came to Lizheng Hall, I felt relieved when I saw my brother, my smiley eyes were filled with peace of mind.
"I have met the emperor brother! The emperor brother seems to be in a good mood? But if you have any happy events, please share them with me?"
Li Shimin smiled but did not answer and asked back, "I heard that you are quite troublesome recently? You are making friends with literati and talented people, and you are charging for cardholders. You will lose it after using it. Are you not afraid of those people choreography and eating you?"
Li Yuanai said disdainfully: "The Bashui Villa was built by my brothers for a lot of money. Why should I get the price of them? My dignified prince, why should I be afraid of what those literati who use their pens? They arranged it in secret. Anyway, my brothers couldn't hear it. They really had the courage to say in front of me, and I dared to let the Qianniuwei Fan given by the emperor."
Li Shimin said: "Come on, come over and eat while talking. Let's have some wine while Xiao Yizi and Zhinu went to the East Palace."
Li Yuanai took his seat.
The maid brought wine that had been warmed up long ago.
Li Shimin said: "Try it first. This is the latest brew from the emperor. Compared to before, is the taste improved?"
Li Yuanai is not good at drinking, and has no research. He just drinks it and can't tell the details at all. However, he said in his mouth: "It's mellow and delicious, and the aftertaste is long. The emperor's craft is really amazing."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's a pity that old man Wei Zheng will not brew wine anymore. Otherwise, if you ask him to come, I will give you a taste and see who brews it better."
Li Yuanai knew how to flatter him in moderation, and did not force him to say, "That's a pity."
Li Shimin suddenly said: "I'm asking you to come today to inform you. Xiao Yizi really wants to visit Bashui Villa and told me many times."
Li Yuanai remembered the agreement with Xiao Yizi and said, "Little Yizi is a daughter-in-law. Before, there were too many tourists in Bashui Villa, so I will give up. Now my brother can close the village and refuse guests and lead Xiao Yizi to visit. I hope the emperor's brother will be satisfied. Xiao Jiu is usually stuck in the palace, so if he can, let him go together."
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanai.
Li Yuanai was confused.
Li Shimin continued to watch.
Li Yuanai felt the pressure and shouted: "Brother of the Emperor?"
Li Shimin frowned and said, "I'm done?"
Li Yuanai had an ominous premonition and said, "Say, let's finish it."
Li Shimin put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "You kid, remember the little whisper, remember the zhinu, but you can't remember the emperor's brother? Where did the emperor treat you badly? There is good wine, and the first thing I think of you, you actually forgot the emperor's brother?"
“…”
Li Yuanai couldn't speak for a moment, and then changed his words: "How could it be that I forgot about my elder brother? It's just that my elder brother is busy with state affairs. I dare not speak! If the elder brother is willing to go, I will sweep the bed and wait for it, and I will stay as long as I can."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This is what you said."
Li Yuanai patted his chest and said, "It was my brother who said it."
"Okay!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "In another month, summer is about to begin. The palace is too hot and the emperor cannot stand it. Since you are enthusiastic about the invitation from Sixteen, it is hard for the emperor to refuse. This summer, I will be in the Bashui Villa for the summer."
"Ha?" Li Yuanai was stunned. How long did it take to stay? He asked tremblingly: "What about the major events in the court?"
Li Shimin said calmly: "There will be the prince and the governor." He paused and said: "There are sixteen more people, don't be favored by one or the other. Zhinu, you are the emperor's nephew, so Qingque is not? So is there a reason to invite the Zhinu but not Qingque?"
Li Shimin said this, and Li Yuanai immediately understood that Li Shimin was giving Li Chengqian a position.
No matter how bad Li Chengqian is, he is the candidate for the prince who cannot be replaced in Li Shimin's mind.
